Stanford Keeps ‘The Big Sail’ Trophy

With wins in the first and last races in fog and 8- to 12-knots of breeze, Stanford beat Cal in the Varsity division at Tuesday’s Big Sail. The annual match-racing regatta settles — at least for the ensuing year — the cross-Bay rivalry between the two schools, the week before their respective football teams meet on the turf for one of the oldest college football rivalries in the country. Sophomore Cole Hatton led the young Stanford team of freshman Oliver Riihiluoma calling tactics, sophomore Benjamin Pedrick trimming, freshman Nick Dugdale and sophomore Hannah Burroughs in the pit, and sophomore Hayley Tobin on the bow. While Stanford took the Varsity win, Cal’s two alumni teams won their respective races in the young alumni and master’s alumni divisions.
